Because things always take longer. "Finish this feature" is scheduled at 2 pomos but in hindsight really needs 20. So then I have a choice to blow through my carefully arranged schedule and finish things, or leave work hanging. Ha

Curious to hear your thoughts. What's a good place? I'd argue that if your releases take forever, or lead times are huge they are worth improving first. What would you look at first?

I don't think so. However I do have a list of things I want to do, so I break them into pomodoros and I'm always surprised when I don't get close to finishing my stuff.

Nicely done. Does anyone else get anxiety from watching the timer get close to 0 and not being nearly done with you've set out to do in the pomo?

I hate the fact that this is going to sound so cynical and it’s the first question that I have — how are they going to monetize this?

What’s the cri? Would love a link as well.

That's a fair criticism. I have the same problem when my kids are home and not at school. Are you able to focus in the office? I feel like most offices are very similar to being at home with small kids in terms of noise levels and inte

Ahh I found it: http://messymatters.com/tagtime/ The idea is that it's fully manual and only precise across weeks.

Same. I vaguely remember a tool that would ask you what you were doing periodically. I never got it to run, so I don’t know if itd be useful or a distraction.

I thought cured meat was safe for consumption. Wild bear which is a popular hunting game here has a very high trichinosis occurrence, but regular cooking methods render it safe. My understanding is that high temperatures kill all parasites,

Sounds interesting. Rubber ducky approach to self awareness? How do you start these micro sessions? What prompts do you use?

Not disagreeing with the premise, but the style of the argument. I remember when Segway was going to change the nature of transportation. LLMs are showing a lot of promise, but trying to predict the future is a coin toss..

There’s no concealed carry in Canada. In fact handgun acquisition has been banned last year. Hunting requires a license and then additional per species license. Except for species like wolves and coyotes, I think.

“Regular” pork has parasites too, that’s why you wanna cook it to the “safe” temperature.

What's your role within the team? Sounds like this is less of a technical challenge, and more of a people challenge. I was going to post about a recent experience doing an 'Oncall war-game'. Troubleshooting a prod issue -- th

Creating your own deck is the way to go. Other people's decks never quite clicked for me the same way a self made deck does. A huge part of it is going through the material and identifying the pieces of knowledge that you actually want

Now we just need datadog to monitor metrist. Who monitors the monitors?

emacs has org-jira, which is how I interact with jira. As you can imagine it’s incredibly fast.

by tra3 4y ago
Absolutely agree, however the alternatives are lacking. What you get with org (and other plain text formats) is that conversion is easy. I typically do 80% of the my authoring in org, and then finalize the last 20% elsewhere. Is it perfect?

Emacs has amazing documentation. You can ask what a specific shortcut key does, you can ask what a specific lisp function does. Everything is linked together (so you can get from the shortcut to the function and vice versa) -- there's

What does “almost never” mean? There were a handful of cases where it did happen? The usual response to these stories is “well Amazon is a big company. My team was amazing”. Fair enough, but given the frequency of similar stories and given

Aren’t there issues for non ambulatory patients in hospitals like muscle atrophy? I wonder if you’d have the same issues laying down for work.

Linux and Emacs come to mind. I’ve been using Gaia gps for what feels like forever without it becoming shit. I hate to say it, but Gmail has been solid since 2007.

Is docker fast because you have other containers running already and you’ve got a vm up? Vagrant used to be a thing and it would spin vms up pretty quick. There are differences technically, between docker and vms, certainly, but conceptuall

It’s a shame there’s no gps in fire tablets. Would’ve been perfect.

This is fascinating. Can I train it on 5 years of stream of consciousness morning brain dumps and then say "write blah as me"? Before I do that, I'd love to know if training data becomes part of the global knowledge base avai

When I ask chatgpt it gives me much better results than google. I think smartphone comparison is apt. Smartphones ended up disrupting whole industries like photography, mapping, entertainment and news delivery.

It’s arguably the biggest development in tech in recent history. How can you expect people not talk about it until it becomes background noise?

I wonder if that’s the contrast between bespoke furniture vs ikea. Anyone can build a lisp interpreter these days with judicious npm install usage. I guess the spark’s been lost. On the other hand more people have decent furniture..
